I had a walk yesterday in Tyn Y Morfa with Tellytubby but before the walk I had a look at the Roman Bath House that had been excavated in Melyd Ave. One interesting discovery that they found was a tile or brick that they made on site and while the clay was still wet a dog had walked over it and its pawprint was still there nearly 2000 years later.
After doing the walk we stopped at Nant Mill Pond where we hoped to see the Kingfishers that had been seen there recently but unfortunately they weren't there at the time. There's always another day but it was still nice to see the pont again.

Old Uncle Albert sent me this lovely photo of Porthmadog and the mountain at the top left is the Knicht. Like Colwyn Bay, Porthmadog has had a lot of rain over the Bank Holiday and the photo was taken on on of the few days when it was dry

Some years ago I saw a Weatherman Walking walk starting from Abergynolwyn and it was a very interesting walk and we visited the castle as part of the walk. There was no admission fee and it is set in a beautiful location.
A little further on is Llanfihangel where Mary Jones started he famous walk to Bala and part of her walk was included in the Weatherman Walking route.
Well worth a walk as there is so much to see
